SlyEdit will recognize the user's terminal size and set up the screen accordingly. The width of the edit area will always be 80 characters and support up to 79 characters of text; however, an increased terminal size will provide more room for information to be displayed such as the message area, from/to names, etc. Also, a terminal height greater than the standard 24 or 25 characters will provide a taller edit area, allowing more of the message to be seen on the screen at a time.\\ | SlyEdit will recognize the user's terminal size and set up the screen accordingly.
